Conquest part one: "foot in the door"

lensman galaxy one halo. the PGDP death blade hung around half a light year out from the nearest star (code named "Foot in the door" by DWFBHs tactical
planning) Massive amounts of construction were going on. halo stars were poor in metals but this wasn't really that much of a problem with the homomda and core tech they were using as elements could be fabricated from pure energy or by modification of existing elements.

For foundations the two dozen parasites and hoards of core and arm type construction units were using the moon of one systems two planets, on the surface
the construction air craft and Kbots to construct weapons emplacement, shield generators and nano latheing cradles for the construction of new ships and
units.

slightly future out another parasite craft was Emplacing a dimensional beckon, to ease the dimensional transit of additional fleet vessels from out side the
dimension.

-------------

Around earth massive preparations where also in evidence . varies scientists and lensmen had analyzed the remains of the destroyed ships at arisia and Alderbaran and come to the same starkly dreadful conclusion they were being invaded by a force from another dimension a force which used hyper space and dimensional travel the way they used a Bergenhome drive. to shield against this dimensional screens to keep hyper spatial matter and prevent the dimensional shifts within a ship were being designed. preparations were also being made to shift a large fleet along with several planets into hyper space to allow battle with enemies there. finally exploration teams were being sent into other dimensions to attempt to locate the source of the attacks.

assorted other vessels, parasite battle ships (any ship of type ten or greater has a few dozen to a few hundred up graded fourth empire parasite battle ships attached to it) allied navies , and mercenary vessels.

opening moves

since the first attacks patrol activity had rocketed. convoys were being guarded as in the worst days of the boskon war. other craft were searching the void for any sign of the enemy still others hung watchfully above the worlds of civilization waiting for any attack that might be launched on them. They did not have to wait long.

The Vendilon system was a major civilization center near the galactic edge (but far enough from the Foot in the door to prevent easy back track) a full
industrialized planet with ship yards factories and all the other things needed for a successful lensman industrialized economy. A perfect target to gain lensman technology and acquire the means to replicate it.

OOC I have a much longer command raid to deliver bio weapon post coming up which I will finish as soon as possible.

Battle of Vendilon part one infiltration: scene one

(Vendilon 3 northern continent local night)

there was no flash as the strike team appeared only a whomp of displaced air. the team was four highly trained mercenary commandos in the best black ops gear serious amount of money could buy. with them they carried a viral bomb. there mission was simple convey the bomb to a high spot in the near by mountains for maximum desperation.

Critze Heart Strike pulled her combat armored form over the top of the ridge and dropped down on the other side scanning the valley bellow, Critze was an elf. She was also dragon juicer an augmented mortal made stronger and faster by a mixture of dragons blood and enchanted combat drugs. unlike a normal juicer as long as she got more blood she would not die or the terrible internal damage juicer drugs did to the body. the armor she war was the best the naruni offered its chameleon camo making her nearly invisible and its varies scanners checking the valley beyond for any sign of the enemy. sure enough heat signatures a group of battle armored figures and a helicopter the power relay to its weapons a bright line leading towards the inhabited areas of the planet. Critze clicked her communicator twice to warn her team mates of the patrol and settled down to wait.

in the valley bellow gunn'y sergeant "lifer" bennett looked suspiciously up at the hills. he had that feeling like he was being watched. sheathing his space axe the big sergeant pulled him self up onto a near by out cropping of rock and activated his suits sensors.

Critze mentally Cringed as the active sensor pulse passed over her there was nothing in her armor that Should show up but should was the operative word here patrol sensors were still a big unknown as long as they didn't have a lens man with them...

Sergeant Bennett growled, rock, grass, trees, nothing out of the ordinary, But then who new what kind of undetectiblity* technology the aliens had he wished he had a lensman with him they were much harder to fool than a vacuum tube. Well no help for it. He signaled his patrol to move out.

Critze let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding, the patrol was moving out. the armors stealth worked thank the gods.

After the patrol was out of sight and she had waited a while to check they weren't doubling back she signaled her team mates and they moved down the ridge.

sergeant Bennett still had a nagging feeling he had missed something in back there. To salve his own worries as much as in hope of finding any thing he radioed the pilot of the patrols accompanying helicopter.

" hey Brad drop back to valleys and give it another check would you"

"yes serge " the copter pilot answered. the helicopter buzzed back over the patrols back trail.

"DAMN!" Critze thought as her passive sensors detected the energy link to the copter shorten. the team hastily got into cover as the chopper flew back over the valley rim. As the air craft approached it ignited its active scanners... as it passed over head Critze thought they might have escaped it notice even at this range but then it began to turn...

Sergeant Bennett sergeant Bennett's head snapped up as he heard the copter call.

"enemy force detected heading across valley 3 0 9er engaging now" almost as one the patrol turned and ran back toward the other valley.

Critze juicer reflexes allowed her to leap easily out of the way of the beam of white energy that spat from the copters under side weapons pod. the commando teams weapons snarled back plasma bolts whipping out to graze the copters screens. Reaper the big senjuk borg who was the groups heavy weapons specialist opened up on the copper with his hyper velocity missile launcher, the plasma missiles cross the distance almost to fast for even her drug enhanced perceptions to follow punching into the force screen then detonating blasting apart half the copter and coincidentally slamming the remains into the valley walls.

on the top of the ridge segent bennett swore as he saw the chopper detonate. he had already called back to base from reinforcements. he was going to make these alien scum pay for brad and his crew.

* in lensman stealth systems are called undetectiblity systems

Critze heart strike elven dragon juicer and on of the best (and most expensive ) mercenaries for hire on phase world was not having a good day.

The mission of objective was only half a mile away and this Damn patrol had found them. She fired another burst from her naruni rail gun into the rocks the enemy was hiding in smashing dust and rock fragments sprayed from the slugs impact points as the MDC rounds crushed rock like glass.

A burst of explosive machine gun shells and beamer fire answered her and she was forced to dive behind fresh cover as the out crop she was sheltering behind cracked and melted.

On the ridge sergeant bennett snarled as one of the invaders hurled from its melted cover almost to quick for the eyes to follow. in his 20 years in the marines and patrol ground forces he had never seen anything move that quick out side of a space craft. still he didn't have to kill these bastards just hold them till help arrived six more helicopters were already on root.

in the valley critze had reached the same conclusion as Bennett "ziggy !" she shouted to the teams only human member a small weasily guy was the teams sniper and assassination expert so he got to carry the viral bomb which was the point of this mission. "what?" he what he muttered back he was lying down in the cover between to rocks with his naruni shoulder cannon resting against his shoulder he had picked his target now... BLAM! on the ridge one of the Valerian marines was flipped backward decapitated by the snipers plasma blast.

" give me the bomb would you?" Critze respond.

"what's the plan?" asked Droluf the teams fourth member was a wulfen his form had been enhanced some years ago by a particularly skilled splugorth bio

wizard and he was strong enough to rip MDC steel like cardboard fast enough to give Critze a run for he money if she had a limp and tough enough to take a Hyper velocity missile and keep going. he was also the teams second in command.

"they have to have reinforcements coming by now if we don't get the bomb to the top of the mountain soon we never will." Critze said.

By this point Ziggy had moved into throwing range he tossed the bio weapons capsule at her, Critze's super human reflexes snapped it out of the air without problem and she ducked back into cover.

having retrieved the bomb she continued speaking: " I'm going to need cover fire until I get over the ridge and if you can keep these guys off me for a while after that I would be grateful but if more of them arrive call for extraction. "

the rest of the team reluctantly agreed to this plan. As the rest of the team laid down covering fire Critze charged up the side of the valley wall towards the mission objective.

sergeant Bennett cursed as a storm of enemy fire chipped away at there cover as he ducked down he had seen one of the enemies moving fast up the ridge to his left towards Bigro's peck the highest mountain in the area. he didn't know why this small force of aliens were here but he was sure as hell not going to let them get away.

"you two come with me." he shouted at two of his men after descending the back of the ridge a bit they moved off after the alien.

Critze was moving fast as her super naturally boosted body and the actuators in her armor allowed her to she crossed the next valley in under a minute and then began to climb up the rock face

Bennett puffed slightly as he charged across the flat center of the valley next to the one playing host to the ongoing fire fight. How did it move that fast? he continued running.

after 10 more minuets of intense gun fire three more lensman helicopters arrived over the valley to the bemusement of the galactic patrol members they
disgorged the alien force vanished in a whomp of in rushing air as they arrived.

the climb took the best part of 15 minutes for the drug enhanced juicer. this sub peak was not exactly K2 but it was high enough for the detonation to spread the bio weapons contents over the entire hemisphere. Gratefully Critze pulled her self over the up to over lip of the cliff soon she would be back on the ship drinking celebrating being another 4 million creds richer.

"Stay right there " said a voice in her mind Critze starred in horror at the 20 valerian marines and there lensman lieutenant pointing delameters at her.

Written at 06-18-2002 12:59 PM

"stand up slowly then slowly take out your gun and throw it over here"

Critze obeyed with the Lensman mental force holding her she didn't have much choice.

" just spend a few second prevaricating @£$£$ "

Critze thought in the small private corner of her mind which was still wholly hers .

"now take out the other gun slowly and throw it over with the cliff"

Critze pulled her plasma magnum from its holster and lifted it to throw. For a second the lensman got a flash of what she was going to do before she throw him out of her mind he made to shout a warning, before his vocal cords could full vibrate she had dropped out of the marines line of fire and pumped a plasma shell into the grenade magazine for her rail guns under slung. the detonations flipped marines in all direction most of them off the peek entirely. Critze dodged side ways as the lensman flew past her head and off the cliff.

Smiling she turned and pulled the bomb from her back she placed it on the floor and pressed the activation button it began to beep.

her job done she pushed the button to activate her armors teleported.

on the mountain side bellow Sergeant Bennett snarled as bits of marines bounced past him.

the aliens were going to pay for this. From above there was a flash of white light.

"oh yes" Bennett thought they think they got away with this but i will see them pay.

Having been lucky enough to fall onto an outcropping below, the injured Lensmen sent a telepathic message to both his fellows and the planetary authorities. He had managed to glimpse in the intruder's mind the purpose of her mission, and realized time was of the essence if they wanted to prevent deaths. Alerted to the fact that an unknown virus had been released into the atmosphere, they began taking measures to protect the population such as getting as many people as they can into space ships and other facilities which could serve as sealed environment shelters. A strict quarantine was put into place, with no travel to or from the planet.

Meanwhile, those who had been close at hand next to the viral bomb's detonation had turned themselves over to the best medical facility on the planet. While the doctors ran tests to determine what exactly the virus was going to do to the men the Lensmen telepathically communicated all he had managed to pick up from Critze, such as what she knew about her employer and his plans and resources, and her mental signature. Alerted to the fact of potential biological warfare, all planets were put on high alert, and sensors and mindscans were thoroughly employed to discover any such teams of intruders.

Assault on Vendilon part 2a war amoung the stars

since by now the lensman no doubt new of the fourth coming attack on Vendilon the assault forces assigned to this attack had been quadrupled the attack would be lead by 20 MBUs supported by an armada of planetoids plus conquest units and MDBVs in large numbers. they would still be out numbered but there better weapons and the fact that they new lensman tactics (while the patrol was unaware of there's ) would help even the odds.

For the ground assaults additional mercenary regiments had been hired to help crush planetary resistance.

else were varies other fleet units had begun to make hit and fade attacks against Patrol and other civilation* targets (merchant craft, bases, ect) they were pin pricks but they hurt like hell and got the patrol spread out trying to find the ships doing them (not easy when the opponent has a better range and can shift into another dimension at will)

the edge of the Vendilon system 02.30 local time

the two patrol pickets the trojan and the War hound moved in a leisurely patrol pattern around the edge of the Vendilon system as the two ships passed the orbit of the outer most planet the war hound detected something it had time to hail in systems before the storm of CAM missiles turned both destroyers into tiny short lived suns.

by the time the assault fleet got into weapons range of Vendilon its self the lensman fleets in both hyper and normal space had formed up into there cylindrical battle formations; this proved to be a spectacularly bad move as the MBUs in the van guard cheerfully grid fired both formations, many ships managed to escape this terrible surge of energies but most were simple annihilated.

After this the battle was pretty much a forgone conclusions lensman frantically struggled to pull back into some semblance of order and at least take a few enemy ships with them but most were quickly over overwhelmed one pocket of ships (maulers and super dread naught managed to hold out for several minates before being blasted apart by a salvo that included the entire assault fleet.

space At least temporally secure (though reinforcement of the galactic patrol no doubt on the way) the assault fleets ships moved into defensive positions around the planet to support the ground assault.

The Meddler looked at the status report that was displayed on his screen. It looked like a promising start, but the Dread Warlord's success was far from assured. It could turn into a long, drawn out campaign for him, with no guarantee of victory.

"The matter of formal diplomatic relations is something that I would have to think about considerbly before making a decision. You have managed to garner many formidable enemies in your career as a conqueror. The appearance of too close and formal a relationship could focus their attention on me, which is an inconvenience I would have to weigh against any potential benefit of formal relations.

In the matter of trade however, should you manage to successfully conquer the Lensmen universe, the option to buy ships produced in its yards could be made part of the contract conditions that I, a "neutral purchaser" of the said universe, agree to abide by."

Assault part 3 groud attack

Critze Heart Strike hated access tunnels as a career merc she felt she spent an inordinate amount of her working life crawling around in narrow cramped
spaces trying to covertly get to some enemy control center or the other.

After the near debacle last mission her armors stealth had been augmented by the addition of a set of psi dampers which would keep detection range for a
lensman down to around 8 meters still a long distance but fortunately not in these tunnels built into the hundred meter thick walls of this fortress.

She and a team of picked others including Ziggy (the rest of her associates being to big to fit in these confined spaces in armor) were infiltrating the
primary defense base on this planet the shields extended from this base covered a good two thirds of the planets northern hemisphere. similar infiltration's
were going on in each of them. the object was to take the planet with its fortifications (and as much other stuff as possible) intact. SO Critze was sneaking
inside to plant a technowizard machine negate on the things control room shutting the whole system down and allowing orbital support and mass landing of
troops to proceed.

Seeing from her tunnel map she had reached the point were the plan had her launching the first strike she stopped and readied her smart missile launcher.

in the control rooms several men looked up as there was a whomp from the air vent the were very surprised to find a few dozen hyper smart no war head kinetic kill weapons heading towards there collective heads.

***

(OOC those interested Critze's team is her, Ziggy (normal but very skilled human sniper/assasin with some minor cybernetics if you happen to have rifts
canada he uses the head hunter assassin kit from that. ) a pair of nova elite (supers from the aberrant game system) and three more juicers (chemically enhanced humans with extreme levels of speed, strength, and endurance ) Including one Delphi juicer bought along for psionic support, (Delphi's are
psionic juicers they have the normal juicer hyper speed reflexes strength ect. and amped up psionic powers to provide support against lensmen they might
encounter.

A Meddling Do Gooder

As an employ of Planar and Dimensional Travel Incorporated, Trickster God had arrvived on Lensmen Earth with a tour group and then was immediately ambushed by Lensmen who were on alert for strange people suddenly appearing on the planet.

"Guys, wait! You don't understand! I'm a tour guide, not an invader!"

Using their vast mental powers, the Lensmen discovered that what he said was true, and that he and his tour group were pretty harmless.

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but due to the invaders we were on a heightened state of alert. But now that we know you are friendly perhaps you can help us out. We have some pictures we'd like you to look at of the invaders ships and troops. Anything that you can tell us about them would be of great help."

Trickster God looked at the pictures they showed him and immediately recognized them from the Mandatory Employee Orientation Course that he took when first hired.

"Hey! I know what those are! They belong to the Dread Warlord FBH. He's one of the dangers we're told to look out for in the field."

"So can you give us information about him to help us in our fight? "

"I'd have to ask permission from my bosses, but I don't see why they'd say no. They really hate that guy. I'll just pop back with my tour group, and bring you the files we have on him and his forces. Heck, if I'm really persuasive, they might even give me time off to help you guys out."

"We'd really appreciate any information and aid you can give us. It would be of great benefit to Civilization."

"No problem guys. The last thing we need is some interdimensional conqueror ruining our tourism destinations."

And after being given some tapes about the situation from the Lensmen's point of view, Trickster God and his tour group ported back home.

Mirror Thread Crossover Scene

After dropping his tour group off back on his world (couldn't let them tour in a potential warzone) he teleported to the Head Office on Earth 2.0. His immediate boss was the Watcher of his world, but for something this important he felt he had to approach the head honchos themselves.

After spending a little time in the waiting room, he was buzzed in to see Z-man.

"Hello sir, I've recently found out that the Dread Warlord FBH is trying to mess with the Lensmen universe. Trying to invade it or something. Here are some files detailing it all."

*Hands him some tapes*

"I was asked by them if I could give them all the data we have on the Dread Warlord. Also, if possible, I'd like some time off to help them deal with him. I don't want him messing up that universe.

So, can I have the files and help? Can I?"

He eagerly looked at his boss, waiting for his answer.

Ground assault part 2

Critze exploded out of the vent about a second after the missiles behind her the rest of the team followed.

around half of the control room personnel (mainly guards which the missiles designated as primary targets) had died from the missiles. by the time Critze was mid way to the floor most of the survivors were at least going for there side arms. still in mid fall Critze opened up on them. By the time she hit the floor half had died and the rest were diving for cover. the arrival of the rest of the team quickly ended the fight.

when the last of the control rooms personnel had meet there doom Critze the team moved to secure the room and set the TW device they had bought in theory it should bring down the whole system and reduce resistance for the forth coming invasion. more importantly with the fortifications of the planet intact it would be much easier to hold against lensman counter attacks.

the two novas took up positions by the chambers (closed) blast doors. all four juicers got into cover behind the varies heavy consoles while Ziggy began to ready the the mechanism negator.

At which point the doors exploded. rubble blasted into the room. one of the two novas was tossed across the room and slammed him into a wall his body armor and nova toughness soaked most of the damage but he still didn't look good.

the other nova Stood where she had been a glowing field of force protecting her from shock wave and flying shards.

the four juicers frantically dodged the storm flying shards there armors defenses packs annihilating some shards as they acrobatically avoided others.

Ziggy dropped behind a console at the far end of the room his heavy armor and force shield stopping the storm of blasts but the shield was mostly depleted
by the blast.

Critze having spun through a series of dodges landed by the nova still at the door way. the nova (named night fire by the way) was leaning round the door and blasting quantum bolts at the lensman forces out side.

"@@£$%$ have a tank down there " the nova screamed over the sound of lensman return fire.

Critze Leaned slightly round the door and blow an neat four leaf clover of holes in one of the patrol marines in the corridor. the lensman did indeed have a tank.

Behind on of the consoles Ziggy was Busy setting the last stage of the techno wizard device. he pushed in the arming code and then activated the device. for a few seconds nothing happened.

then the lights went out.

above the planet screens over 2/3s of the planets northern half went off-line. several more screen sections went down the the following minuets as other units completed there tasks.

shortly after this lensmen troops moved into the control room. There was no sign of intruders. Again.

The Meddling Do-gooder Returns

Having gotten permission from his bosses, Trickster God ported back to Lensmen Earth with files on the Dread Warlord and his forces.

"Here you go guys. Hope this helps you all out."

"Thank you very much. We really need this, especially now that this Dread Warlord has launched full scale invasion of one of our planets."

"He has? How are you guys handling it?"

"Unfortunately, badly. If our surface forces don't get reinforced soon, it will be all over. But unfortunately the enemy has complete control of all orbital approaches. We might not be able to fight pass them in time to prevent their ground forces from being to deeply entrenched."

"Well if that's your only problem then I can help you out big time. Just get some troops together and show me some pictures of where you want them to go, and I'll handle the rest."

The Lensmen did as he asked, and Trickster God used his powers to instantly teleport ground forces to strategic landing points all over the planet. Now strengthened by fresh reinforcements, the Lensmen forces began to turn the tide and drive the invaders back.

"Well, that's takes care of the surface battle, but we still need to get rid of those ships. I've got an idea. Be right back."

*teleports to get a powerful ship*

in orbit the varies minds coordinating the battle did the computer equivalent of blinking. DWFBH who was watching the battle made a mental note to talk to meddler about who was messing with his operations so they could be dealt with he then got on the phone to his phase world agents to hire him some more mercenaries lots more.

As a stop gap several of the Kbots garrisons of DWs other assets (the less important ones) where halved and the 50% this freed sent to support operations on vendilon.

Interlude: reinforcements

Kimball Kinnison Snarled as the enemy attack ships hurled past his dispersed formation launching another spread of those damn missiles. beams from a half hundred primaries and macro beams lashed at it most missed but one or two stung the ships shields.

Kinnison New what the enemy was doing the attacks they sent weren't meant to stop the wave of patrol ships just slow it until the could conquer and fortify Vendilon and they were working.

finally the turrets of his flag ship dauntless flashed and the enemy ship died in a bloom of short lived fire.

the relief fleet moved on.

a message to meddler

Dread warlord FBH was annoyed not angery not in a towering rage just annoyed. up to now the opperations had gone well the lensman fleets were a worry and if they could ever consentrate they could squash his current forces but it was manageble.

Now however some dimension hopper had had the gall to come and help the lensmen.

So this communication had been sent.

"good day meddler, I am having a slight problem with a dimension walker he has resently visited the lensman verse and is giving them suport I wonder if you could deal with him for me ?"

Trade

since it looked like the lensman campain was going to be complicated (like it wouldn't have been without this damn plain shifting loss cannon wandering around ) DW FBH had desided to buy somemore ships This was quite a simple process. basically it in meant calling his contact in abitration arts, and varies homomda ship makers and saying I want X number of ships.

"You want how many ships???" the homomda rep asked.

" I belive the numbers came through ok " DWFBH responded.

"thats a lot of ships.... it will be very costly"

" not a problem I trust you still want the techno wizard packages I can provide"

"of course for this job the price will be 10 million units of technowizardy"

" high but worth it I think might i suggest an alternate form of pay meant though all those units will be bulky"

a graffic of a lensman merchant man damaged but still mostly intact appeared.

" this ship has a type of drive you have not yet seen it is considerable faster than you current one I think would it surfice"

"if it works"

"oh it works you may have to do some retro engineering but it works'

"exellent then we will start constructing immedatly"

a similar scene was played out with arbitration arts but with a diffrent lensman vessal.

Using a crystal ball he had picked up adventuring on Toril, Trickster God searched the planes for a powerful ship that would be easy for him to get. His dillegence was rewarded when he came across a massive but sleek looking ebony battlecruiser.

"That looks cool! Now where's the owner?"

The crystal ball showed a figure standing in some sort of genetic laboratory.

"Hey! I know that guy. He's some sort of villain wannabe!"

Raising his forcefield and projecting an illusion that made him appear to like the owner to every sense, Trickster God ported onto the bridge of the battlecruiser, which was in a geosynchronous orbit over the Pokemon world.

"Computer, this is Captain Seth. Break orbit and prepare to jump to the Lensmen Universe."

And the Trickster God flew a way in the Black Reaper, thus bringing a ship with planet busting power to help the Lensmen.

***

Flying into battle with shields up and guns ablazing, the Black Reaper cruised to Vendilon, blowing away any of the Dread Warlord's ships that got in its way. With its planet busting power, it quickly cut a hole in the Dread Warlord's siege of the planet.

Wahooo! You're all clear kids! Now let's blow these guys up and go home!

"Darn it! I knew something like this would happen."

Trickster God teleported himeself to Khazan to do some shopping. It looked like that he would have to hire some mercenaries of his own to help the Lensmen cope with the Dread Warlord's strange to them resources.

Meanwhile, following its last orders, the Black Reaper let loose two planet busting shots at each of the MBUs and then D-jumped back to Pokemon world, damaged but still intact. It's automatic self repair systems worked at full speed to bring the ship back to full operating condition.

Vendilon was in the main secure. a few resistance fighters in the hills. and that was about it. even better the cities were intact even the population was still mainly as it was, a few had got out on the evac ships but most were still in there homes relatively unhappy but still there. Factories were still running of course now there were armed guards, mind melters, and drugged food to keep the workers in line. they still got paid at half rates there families had to eat after all.

Across the planet construction was going on.

varies fixed defenses were being set up together with bases and bunkers. And temples to the dread warlord. DWFBH didn't know if the meddler would allow worship of him to continue when he got the dimension but he figured he might as well grab as many believes as he could in the conquest in cause some god came noising around looking for trouble.

the dread warlord had decided to make a serious effort on the cult front. the Cerlian campaign was going well slowly. and He had basically given up on fast tracking god hood. some of the stuff exsplority expeditions to the vinge verse Transcend were bringing back were promising but the possibility of trap remained. DWFBH didn't want to end up as a blight extension or something like it.

contingency planes were being put into effect. one temple space fortress had been deployed in the with massive gravity shields in the raft verse ( a place were gravity is so strong that humans have gravity fields of planets.

Other groups were being positioned on slow of the Vinge verse and varies other safe places.

in the lensman Verse DWFBh had grabbed another dozen or so uninhabited systems around vendilon and was delaying the lensman relief fleets with
MDBVs and mine fields.

It seemed that such delays would soon end however as the bulk of the lensman fleet was now only a few dozen light-years from Vendilon.

Battle of Vendilon

Around 22.04 local time sensors on the the Dread warlord space forces sensor platforms around the system edge detected approaching lensman vessels.

this was not unexpected in fact the lensman fleet was late it should have been here even with the delaying action some three days earlier. As the lensman fleet approached differences in configuration of the ships from the norm was detected apparently the galactic patrol had taken some time out to fit new systems onto its ships.

this was quickly confirmed as the first spreads of missiles were displaced into the area of the lensman fleet point defenses immediately came to life on the smaller lensman vessels, needle beams and zones of force killed over a third of the incoming missiles It was not enough to keep every lensman ship alive.

(one unlucky light cruiser took a nano hole missile and became an expanding shell of radiation.)

the lensman fleet continued to advance it endured another six volleys of missiles in the fraction of a second it took to hit its own maxim weapons range primaries and marco beams lashed out to sting at the defense fields of the dread warlords vessels a few of the less heavily defended MDBVs became fiery blobs as the lensman fleet continued to close.

both fleets were hammering with everything they had now. the lensman fleet was apparently using some new weapons as miniature negasphere lashed out towards the fleet most were shot down of shunted into hyper space but a few hit to do crippling damage.

the two fleets tactics were very different the lensman fleet basically hung there and blasted maneuvers were done as a formation.

the dread warlords fleet was not a formation it didn't need to be since it weapons could easily kill ships one to one. There was still coordination with ships forming squadrons to hit one part of the lensman formation or defend a comrade who's shields were failing.

As the battle progressed the Dread warlords fleet began to with draw in system, the galactic patrol force sensing blood redlined there engines to catch up. It was just what the DW Spacy forces had been waiting for above the lensman formation the huge form of an MBU appeared the ships slammed into the formation pounding its way towards its most vulnerable and vital part the transports. 400 of the fleets 1300 troop transports became vapor before the MBU was intercepted by a group of a new type of ships: the super monitor, hundreds of beams blasted the MBU to pieces in a split second. The Maulers did not survive there victim though. the MBUs last volley annihilated 9 out of the ten super maulers.

after around 3 more minutes of battle the lensman fleet began to with draw. most of its light ships were gone and although there enemy was becoming heavily damaged so were they. the DWspacy ships did not pursue.

Shopping Trip

Wandering the market of Khazan, Trickster God had already found a bunch of neat technology and magical equipment that would be great for the Lensmen to have. Next he decided to pay a visit to the Mercenary Guild Hall

Attendant: Can I help you?

TG: Yes. I'm looking for mercenaries.

Attendant: What sort of work?

TG: A long term campaign to repulse an interdimensional invasion of the Lensmen Universe.

Attendant: Hmmm, a big job. What price range can you afford?

TG: Well, Civilization will foot the bill, and I could probably convince my bosses at Planar and Dimensional Travel to kick in some money as well, so cost is no obstacle.

The Attendant smiles

Attendant: Very well sir. Here's a directory listing our most skilled and formidable units and indviduals. I hope you find them to your liking.

And Trickster God flipped through the book, chuckling to himself as he saw what was available.

Assault on Lensmanverse: Bernards star

across the first galaxy war raged. fleets of ships hammered each other into obvlion. after his sucess at vendilon DWFBHs forces were assaulting along a wider front losses (mainly the exspendable MDBVs ) heavy and resistance Stiff but Dread warlord FBH and the tactical minds remained confinedent of victory.

the next system up on the attack agenda was Bernards star a major lensman military base the system was vastly more defended that vendilon with orbiting fortesses space mine fields and a massive ground army to support its defence huge fleet.

heavy battles both in space and on the ground were exspeced.

***

since taking the systems by storm would be prohibitously expensive in ships the tactical mind of DWFBH spacy had decided on siege and special forces raids to reduce the system. once defenses had been sufficiently disrupted the fleet would move in and take the system.

the first attack was at 10 am local time.

a swarm on anti mater missiles and attack ships rifted in around the main planet (Bernard's world) to assault its defenses and ships, the cheap ships couldn't possible break the defenses, But that wasn't there objective they were just a distraction from what was going on out system.

at the systems outer edge the universe biggest mine field was being bought into existence. trillions of devices now lay around the system in a great oval.

together with automated forts weapon nano sats and shield generators to keep anything from leaving or gaining entry to the system.

Similar defenses were being set up in hyper space.

phase one was now complete.

Written at 07-05-2002 12:46 PM

Dread Warlord FBH had decided to expand his all ready conquered sphere a bit the lensman verse conquest was going slow With the ground war on Bernard's star still being savage even as massive numbers of MDBVs and missile reduced its space forts.

for this purpose MBU 697 and a fleet of MDBVs were dispatched to a star wars verse (the 23 different ending were most of the heroes die with the death star) the conquer it, the idea was to "do a meddler" and take over the empire by restoring it, throwing there fleets might behind the imperial star fleet and allowing it to swiftly crush the rebels. if for some reason they would not cooperate then the fleet was more than sufficient to take the galaxy by main force.

Known space verse near the galactic core

A small heavily stealthed medical ship of homomda design approached the pack protector world and took up orbit. the ships mind scanned the planet and took a set of samples: Some plants and some genetic code enough to form clones. It then left fast.

"so we got what we need" Dread warlord FBH smiled at the mind avatar before him.

"indeed we have the pack protector viral agent and are making the necessary changes to it as we speak. "

"excellent then maybe we can finally crack this transcend tech."

Introducing Pellicia

The air inside the chamber begain to shimmer with energy. A man in a white lab coat and a blue haired woman run around the small metallic chamber ajusting knobs and pressing buttens.

Man: The chamber is ready. We can procede with the experiment.

Blue haired woman: Excellent. (turns on tape recorder) *cough* We are ready to begain test 127. The chamber has been filled with highly concentrated amounts of energy particles. We will now place the energy absorbing crystal into the chamber. With luck the changes I made on the crystal will allow it to store large amounts of energy.

She taps away at a keyboard and slowly a container rises into the chamber. The container opens to reveal a small blue crystal.

The particles of energy seemed to react to the crystal and begain to collect at it's sides. Little by little the crystal begain to draw the energy in.

Man: The process has begun. The crystal has already absorbed 25% of the energy particles and I'm not detecting any change.

The blue hair woman smiled, most of her crystals had either exploded or shattered before reaching even 20% so this was good news indeed.

Man: The crystal has absorbed 50% of the energy. Still no change.

Woman: Finally, I think we might just do it this time.

Man: 75% absorbed...... Wait a sec....... something is wrong.

Woman: What, what is it?!

Man: The energy particles are starting to reject the crystal. The ones that have already been absorbed are trying to break free from the crystal.

The chamber begain to shake violently as the crystal begain developing cracks.

Man: The crystal is over loading.

Woman: Hit the deck!!!!

Both run out of the room just as the chamber explodes, taking out the entire room with it.

Man: You ok.(Helps the woman to her feet)

Woman: I'm fine.

Man: I sure hope so. It would be absolutely dreadful if you couldn't pay me the money you owe.

Woman: Money, what are you talking about?

Man: What, you don't remember the bet we made a little while ago. I bet 20 bucks that your new crystal wouldn't work and as you can see it didn't so pay up.

Woman: What are you talking about. I don't remember any bet. Oh, would you look at the time, I've got to go. Bye!

Man: Hey wait! Darn it, She's never gonna pay now.

The man slowly walks off to get the repair crew.

Rommie: Yeoman, are you alright?

Zel-Yeo: Not sure. I feel... weird.

Rommie scans Zel-Yeo.

Pellcia: Patch me through to Dr. Doppler in the Special projects divison.

Operator: Yes Pell. Just a minute.

Doppler: Miss Pell. What can I do for you.

Pellcia: How goes the reserch on the new crystal.

Doppler: Better then before but we still have a few problems. The Crystal can now absorb a great deal of energy but once it reaches a certain point in cracks and explodes. We've already gone through 34 test chambers already. But we are very close to coming up with with a prototype that actual works.

Pellcia: Well hurry up then. Oh, and I need a few things sent her to pay the man I got hired. (Lists all the items that MunchKING wanted)

the massive fortress which was Dread warlord FBHs primary home temple Covered an area roughly the size of africa every where in the huge structure intense preparations were on going arcane equipment with names like "Reality stabilization net" "quantum tunnel generator" "Ward field generator" "Miasma generator" and many others were being bought in and Emplaced. guards had been increased many fold with enchanted BPC(1) power armor clad humans, orcs and gargoyles patrolling every hall all of whom had been bio wizard enhanced to such a degree that the original race was hard to determine. at vital points squads of nova elite and other supers (though even unarmored the Dread legionaries could tear steal like tissue paper) and cyber tanks waited for any attack.

At the same time DWFBHs office on phase world Khazan and any several other dimensional ports were hiring every super entity killer mercenary that could be found and paid (and considering FBHs intelligence gathering and budget it was a lot.

the multiverse is a vast and very weird place. it is arranged in clusters radiating from a point which is the "baseline" of a particular set of dimension all other dimensions in a cluster have certain things in common be they events, people, or places. close to the central there are relatively recognizable dimension thought they may differ in great ways it all stems from one event. so in the star wars cluster there is a dimension near the main one were grand admiral Thrawn commanded at endor and the rebellion was crushed. There is a dragon ball Z verse where Cell one and rules the universe with an iron fist and so on.

further out there are the mirror universes and cross overs where two cluster mix. So In one verse a resurgent empire is currently stomping the federation. In another reed Richard's supreme overlord of earth is contemplating how best to destroy his hated do gooding rival doctor doom.

Beyond these are the truly weird universe almost unrecognizable in relation to the base universe created by some bizarre mix of cross overs and alternate dimensions. for example In one universe at around the same time DWFBH is buying the services of every uber merc he can find in preparation for munchking empress Mara jade has just finished ordering her top assassin, Alicia DeVries to kill her ex lover luke sky walker and is now Idly reading a report from Grand Admiral Honor Harrington on the war with the United federation of planets and there Achuultani protectors while discussing with her two fellow Sith Leia Organa and Han Solo whether a rebellion planet deserves having a legion of Ewok shock troops dropped on it, The Justice army of the british empire has just engaged a posleen B-Deck in the skys over the american colonies and the emperor Caeser XXX the steam lord of the new roman empire is exalting his legions and fleets to victory over the Narn invaders.

all this is said so the reader will not be confused (at least no more than usual) with the identify of one of the super entity killer mercs DWFBH has hired.....

Cordelia Chase sat in the cot pit of her gundam tried not to be impressed by the massive defensive globe of defenses around the ring world and its sun. It was however very impressive. the mine field alone held over 9000 trillion mines each with teratons of yield, there were also several hundred million large defense platforms and a couple of billion small ones. plus an huge defense fleet.

"Miss chase" the ships AI said in its baritone voice. "we have been given clearance to land at the nearest star port ledge."

"finally.... why is it that EOs always keep you waiting?"

"In this case it may not have been the dread warlord intention to keep you waiting there seems to be a large amount of traffic descending an ascending all the time. "

Written by Mr.Sandman 07-14-2002 06:42 PM

It's parked in the Mirror universe. After you caught Cody I checked with the people who wanted to take the ship back. (I forget there names at the moment) It seems that Cody had his agents pay the debt so they gave the ship back.

Written by The MunchKING 07-14-2002 07:16 PM

Well, I doubt the Aardvark will be needing it anytime soon... So lets take it!! But does it have any weapons?? We'll probablly end up blasting outr way through, then landing and hoofing it the rest of the way through the temple...

Of corse, it's outfitted with lot's of planet busting weapons and a small army of attack droids.

Man; this is crazy, one second I'm riding around in ma ship. The next some guy called the Munchinking, who strangely enough doesn't look like one of those guys from the Wizard of Oz, appears in a flash of light and asks if I want to beat-down on some uber-powerful emperor of doom or something.

So me being me; I say sure, killed a wizard and his country for a bag of everlasting peanut butter. Why not risk my life and limb stupidly again?

Ohhh alright... Tell me why our so willing to get diety powers your willing to blow up that world, and I'll help you WITHOUT any world destruction...

Written by Mr.Sandman 07-16-2002 04:43 PM

Pellcia: My reason is one that a peoson like yourself can never understand. But, If you want to help me without the destruction of any plantes then all you have to do is conquer a universe for me.

If you do that not only will I help you but I will also provide you with weapons that I developed that will give you a very powerful edge.

He apparently has very *Specific* ideas with what to do with you... Hmmmm... How about you try telling me this motive of yours... Maybe I'll suprise you.

Or, If you REALLY want to calm CBY down, I'd suggest STARTING with FBH's data, THEN progressing to your motives...

Written by Mr.Sandman 07-16-2002 05:22 PM

Pellcia: Well, truth of the matter is.... I want to have my own universe because.... I want to make a place were people will respect me for a change. Where people can live without the constant threat of people who want power only to hurt and kill. And the most important thing.... I will finallly have the resoures to continue all my reserch. I don't want to rule people with an iron fist or tell them what to do, just keep them happy.

Now, about DWFBH. I managed to get one of these.

(Holds out ring)

It's yours. That's if you agree to my demand. With this you will be able to go right through the DW defences without anyone being the wiser. So, how about it Munchy.

Written by The MunchKING 07-16-2002 05:30 PM

The problem is the goal you've set, and the means for getting it, are mutually contradictory...

You want people to respect you?? Having me conquer them will only inspire fear...

You want them to be free of the pain of people who want to hurt and kill?? Why begin by unleashing that upon them??

You want Resources to research?? Then why not get them??

You don't want to rule?? Then why ask for a Universe??

I understand all to well, but I'm afraid I'm unable to help you obtain your goals...

Written by Mr.Sandman 07-16-2002 05:35 PM

Pellcia: No, I don't want to FIND a place like that. I want to MAKE a place like that.

And I've already told you what the ring does. It is used by every one of DW troops and ships so that they can teleport around when there near his temple. Without this you'll have to fight all of his defences in order to get inside.

Written by The MunchKING 07-16-2002 05:47 PM

MAKE one?? Then why exactally did you ask for me to conquer you one?? I hope your not thinking of destroying one Universe to create another??

Written by Mr.Sandman 07-16-2002 05:51 PM

No, What I meant was I want to MAKE a peaceful universe out of another one. But not by destorying anything. Well, not unless I have to.

Hey Lensmen, Here Comes The Calvary

*Bamfs back from Khazan*

Hi guys! How are things going in the war?

Lensman: We're locked in a stalemate. We can't retake the territory they're occupying, but at least we're managing to keep them contained. If only something would happen to tip the balance of power.

Well then, this is your lucky day. I've brought some guys who might be able to help.

*takes out transdimensional communicator and hits a button*

Ok guys, come on in.

*Suddenly, a large collection of ships from various parts of the multiverse shimmered into orbit around Earth*

I hired a mercenary fleet from Khazan to help you guys out. They've got tech equal to the Warlord's forces, so they should negate any edge his forces have on you.

*The Lensman smiled*

Lensman: I think the balance has just been tipped.

The Liberation of Vendilon

Cruising through space, the combined Lensmen-Khazan Mercenary Fleet encountered the forces of the Dread Warlord FBH. The ultra-tech of the mercenaries, equal to the invaders, coupled with the might of the Lensmen's forces meant that they had the advantage against the Warlord's forces.

To give them even more of an edge, Trickster God used his Illusion Mastery to confuse things for the enemy, hiding ships from their view and creating ships where there were none. Only the Lensmen and their allies knew what was really real, thanks to the mindlink they had with the superhuman.

Finally, the Dread Warlord's space forces were defeated, and the planet retaken. The Dread Warlord's forces were either prisoners, dead, or fleeing from the universe to escape their enemies. The Lensmen Universe was finally free of the would-be conquerors.

Well, well, well....looks like I got me a uber-powerful minion instead of an uber-powerful allie. I don't really like doing this but a chance like this is too good to miss.

Energy begins to flow around Genki; dark and mallable. Giving off waves of permanating evil and corruption. It begins to leak from his body and convulase into one humanoid shape source in front of him.

It is darkness; psychotic to the nth degree, made for killing and destruction on a scale seen only once before its creation. Every inch of the being is dark; all its clothes and items are dark as well.

Almost like the shadows around it covered him; it bends onto one knee in subservience.

What is your name, asks Genki?

My name is The Munchinking!

And who is your master Munchinking?

You are my master!

I don't know about you Pellacia; but for me this has most definately been a worthy pairing of our resources.
